What is wrong with some people? You take a de-wormer medicine for fucking cows but you won't take a vaccine designed for humans? It's a good thing social media and these fools weren't around in the 50's when they were vaccinating against smallpox, diphtheria and polio. I don't get it.
So the NHL released the Habs pre-season schedule. Gotta say I am sadly not surprised to see them only playing the leaf, and Sens. Hadly gonna be any sort of gauge in what the season will be like,although I do get that pre-season is worthless, apart from conditioning - it will serve to help hype the tranna media frenzy and help them plan their parade for early October as usual...
Yeah, but just window dressing, really. Bergevin and Timmins still report to GM directly. Maybe she'll help them stop from kicking themselves in the gonads again, but it's hardly a given. A step in thd right direction, at least.
I've been booted off of Twitter for a week for telling The Star's susan delacourt she should be 'slapped' for saying Crystia Freeland should be 'slapped' for calling out the Toole.
32 Celsius today in Saint John on the Fundy coast. Felt like about 40 with the humidex. One more day of that then a cold front is coming through the area on Friday. Thank God. Played 18 today, it was tough, couldn't keep my hands dry to grip the clubs but managed to shoot 88. Taking tomorrow off.
I'm not voting Liberal or Conservative. I'm not sure what to do.
McSplooge is pre-season splooging or as can be said pre-splooging as only the splooger himself can splooge. Nuff said. Having trouble waiting for hockey. Is this normal? So long Charlie you were special. Never forgot the 72 Hot Rocks show at The Forum. Had Stevie Wonder as the backup band, we slept out at Atwater Park the night before to make sure we got tickets always had one of us in line. Mrs Chester and I never missed them when they came through. They were truly one of the greatest live shows ever. Never a disappointment. Anyway Go Habs
Week 1 of vacation over. Had a good, if not too short to Ottawa to visit the youngest, her guy and their new home. Boy was it hot. Felt like 42/43 each day. They're young and have lots to do at their place. Found it hard not to 'take over' and just do shit around the house but had to let it go...anyway great to see her first time in nearly 2 years. Part 2 of vacation will be a cottage at the beach near Shediac, NB starting tomorrow. Looking forward to doing absolutely nothing for a week.
Still no KK signing makes me wonder if MB is just fucking around or has something big up his sleeve. One never knows with him. 2 weeks to football. 6 or 7 til hockey. Quick summer with the late season, remember? Habs played in the Stanley Cup finals?!!
I am just finishing a week holiday as well visited many museums and points of local interest and feel full of culture. Ready to face the valley of death and ny job next week
Enjoy your vacays guys, I've been on vacation for 8 years now. We haven't been anywhere yet, too much covid going on still. We want to take a run up to Cape Breton at the end of September and I am going on a golf trip to PEI with #1 son the week before. We'll see what happens I guess.
Looking forward to football soon even though the Giants will probably suck.
I CAN retire in 3 1/2 years at 56. We'll see. All my former co-workers that have retired all say to go when you can and not to worry about whether I have enough money. The lack of work stress is priceless. So far that's the plan. We'll see I guess. And then maybe I can work on getting my golf game going.
As far as football I don't know what to think of the Pats. I expect to challenge for a wildcard though.
I have spent a week looking for something new worthy of my time had a couple of hits, The silencing but this stood out sas rise of the black swan on netflicks
blow it up blow it up real good "And then there’s going nuclear and tendering an offer sheet to Vancouver Canucks centre Elias Pettersson. We don’t think Bergevin’s going to do that—how he’d make it work from a cap perspective is beyond our limited math comprehension—but we can’t strike it as a possibility."
The key is KK must be qualified at $6.1 until he reaches UFA. Now he can sign an extension for less but it looks like he is burning that bridge with Montreal.
Why wouldn't KK accept that offer? Like the M said, he was treated like garbage, watching his team fizzle out of the playoffs as players with big injuries skated and did more to hurt the team than KK ever could. And somebody offers you twice what you're worth, you sign that dotted line tout suite!
Yes it boils down to pettiness, which really has me wondering if MB will say fine, take him so he can use those picks to trade for a better centre. Not saying I want Eichel and not sure he could be had with a bunch of picks and lesser players (i.e. not NS or CC), like Byron and Poehling. But i can see MB doing this or similar, something less costly than Eichel likely. Who the f knows! Only one man. If this is his swan song year I don't think anything is out of the question.
nobody knows KK better than US, so keep him dump him, its up to the brain trust. You have to admire how hard we were trolled by the PAY DAY Loan people.
I think sign him. Then look for a trade. I don't think he wants to be here and that way MB would have time to shop him and get something better than a couple of picks from the large rotating storm. It's like The View From Nebraska said, it's clearly a bush revenge move and I don't think it's the best for KK. It saddles him with the 6.1 mil going forward. He was clearly thinking short term. Go Habs
Probably listening to his agent. He saw what happened to Evans and was on the receiving end of some dangerous hits himself that the league turned a blind eye to. Take the $ and play with fellow Finn Aho? Why worry about offending Bergy. Mailloux proves he has no moral authority anyway. Who among us would turn down a guaranteed $6 million?
A grey and rainy day at the beach is still 1000% better than being at work. Good chance to catch up on all the KK reactions. Big surprise the leaf media all seem very excited by the news. As if it in anyway impacts them. I suppose it does. KK is the guy who sent that series to game 7. That alone should warrant him $6M to stay with the team this season now that I think about it.
After giving it some thought, as much as I like Kid KoHo, I would let him walk. If mb matches, it will fuck up his salary cap structure for years. They can't pay a 30 point player that kind of coin, even for a year or two. Physically, he is still structurally weak, falls down a lot and doesn't win many puck battles. I know he is only 21 but he should be showing more than he is. Don't worry about losing a 3rd overall pick for a possible late 1st rounder and a 3rd rounder. I's all relative anyway. Like, where is Nail Yakupov theses days? How about gCHuk? Take those two picks and flip them for Dvorak or someone like that or, swing for the fences with Eichel. Like I said, lots of drama.
I agree. I wasn't informed as to the ins and outs of the offer sheet. Would be sad to see him go but who could resist a 6.1 million payday and as well a guaranteed 6.1 million offer next year. It's slimy of them because our offer for Aho was legit, this is just shitty bush league gameplaying. anyway. Go Habs
We are walking and I think that is the correct approach. This file has been fucked since draft day when we did not take Brady Tchuck. I still think the KK pick was correct in context. Now it looks like another first round burn out for us.
I predict MB has had zero intention of matching from the minute he found out and has been working on a deal involving those picks+. I could also be 100% incorrect.
So long KK, another wasted super high 1st round pick right up there with the most recent one, wasted on a sex offender. Good thing TT keeps mining gold in the later rounds.
Welcome Christian Dvorak, whom I mistakenly thought was a Czech, but is an American player. He should be a more offensive type player than Phil Danault was.
I'm pulling for Ryan Poehling to make the team along with Mattias Norlinder.

The Forum Gods rejected KK. My best explanation. Bery was right about both GCHuck and Mini Me, and I think history will prove him out this time. But I still think there is a chance he becomes a Lego barzal hyprid.
“Young centers with a lot of potential don't just come around. You have to draft them” - #Habs GM Marc Bergevin in June 2018 after drafting Jesperi Kotkaniemi 3rd overall
I guess the higher you're drafted as a Hab, the less likely things will work out for you within the organization. I think it's becausr humility is vslued over talent. Goes rihht back to Patrick Roy and Mario Tremblay.
Canadiens' management dropped the ball on Kid KoHo from the start. A barely turned 18 year old stringbean should not have started in the NHL. He should have played 2 more years in Finland at least. More time to mature mentally and physically. Watching him play the last couple of years I never got the impression he was going to be a dominant #1 center, but a good #2 like Saku was.
Fortunately, Suzuki has fallen into bergevin's lap so he can save face. Nick is a true #1 and with CC will put up some good numbers. They need Power Horse on their left wing to give them so space and a little protection.
As for KK, I hope Carolina self destructs down to a bottom 5 finish and with that shitty goaltending tandem it is a good possibility. Fuck Dundun and Waddle.
What I want to know is how many Ken dolls does bergy have dressed like KK with pins in them? I expect DEVO to be a big cheap upgrade for a least a couple of years. If the Pole Dancer can be a scoring third center we are going to be effective down the middle. If the TSAR finds his top 4 gear, and Northlander can we call him FACE? gives us some Quinn Hughes Cale Makar DNA plan the parade. Failed to mention high hopes for Yodelin.
I really enjoy watching match play golf. For the non-golfers this is a team event where the players face off hole by hole rather than keeping regular golf scores. In this case it is Europe vs USA. But man, I cannot stomach the USA! USA! chants that come along with these events. Rhetorical question but is there a more arrogant nation on the planet? I just watch in hopes they lose.
And staying off hockey for a bit, it's football week baby! Pats with a rookie QB & excited to see what the kid can do. Sadly don't play the Giants this year so no Jones v Jones matchup. I don't think they play the Steelers either. Finally sat down this morning to see who went where and roughly planned for my draft tomorrow night. Picking 5th so I'll get a top end RB.
Your Jones is better than my Jones aka Mr. Clumsy. I am in a FanDuel league this year. You pick 1 QB 2 RB 3 WR 1 TE 1 D and 1 Flex player. You have a 60k cap to buy all those players. It's harder than you think! There is a winner every week and an overall season winner. I'm also in a Survivor pool this year, first time in probably 20 years. $5 to get in and $5 to buy back in.
I expect my Giants to suck again this year. Maybe they can get a decent QB in the '22 Draft.
Keeping it off topic, happy 19th birthday and congrats to Montreal's Leylah Fernandez and 21 year old FAA on making it to the quarter finals at the Tennis US Open. Good luck to Andreescu today even if her on court antics grate on me at times.
Speaking of Canadian women doing well in sport, what a year it has been already! Hockey gold, soccer gold at the Olympics...indeed I believe the first 13 medals won by Canada were by women.
Which brings me to this. Since it's been such a great year, maybe it's time to 'promote' Bergevin to President (cuz he ain't going anywhere) and replace him with the league's first female GM. There are some great options out there, perhaps limited however if speaking French is a requirement, which I think we can agree by now is a fact. She's really smart, Wickenheuser could learn the language quick. Bonus is that Dr Mulder is really old and she can do double duty when he retires. There is Meaghan Hunter from the Hunter clan. Doubt she is bilingual but I dont know. Maybe she's not ready to GM a team yet but Swiss Miss Florence Schelling was the first GM of a pro men's hockey team last year for Bern. Being Swiss she might have French and wouldn't be a bad person to get into the system. Moe has names a.few others that would be excellent targets in previous posts.
Though apparently the rumour is that MB is getting a 3 year extension, so...
sorry to be a old fart,but winning at women level does not make you a great hockey player, it makes you a great women hockey player. They introduce Christian St Clair as the best soccer playero of all time, no she is the best women scocerr player of all time. Until I make a mistake I will always believe men and women are equal but differant.
Ugh. Back to the office this week. Getting up AND dressed to go to work sucks. I had a hard time finding pants. Couldn't find my shoes. And need to actually plan lunch rather than just going to my fridge to see what we have. And then there is traffic to deal with.
Also nice to actually see human faces in 3D especially since we have many new ones in our department.
Anyway, Habs have been on my back burner with football starting. But it's actually quite simple what needs to happen this year to make this forgettable summer unforgettable.
1. Canes suck and end up in a lottery position ending with a top 5 pick for the Habs.
2. Habs get to the final again, maybe even win this time and Yotes end up with pick 31 or 32 from the Devo trade.
I see a juggernaut hitting the icebergs and powering through. I am not sure where the myth and reality of BBQ depart. I see Tsar and North FACE more than making up for his departure. Dano, you got ten points a year, any Cheq can Cheque. We are going to be absolutely awesome, awesome. Put your money down now on misu ju,
Syd the kid joins Narco on the wrist list, to heavy oven mitts, I dont know. More likely because they wear the short gloves. Bring back the long gloves, I can not believe it makes a diff as Mike Bossy.
The Giants have the Bears 1st pick as well as their own. I think there is another hot qb for 2022, they need one. Daniel Jones is effin terrible. Clumsy as fuck.
Norm MacDonald on battles with cancer: “I’m pretty sure, I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw.”
Gut wrenching loss with zero on the clock after the offside. I'd prefer a blowout to that.
Watched the first half. He didn't look so bad though he was sacked three times. We have a new guy just started at work and he's a Giants fan. He informs me the O-line looked much better in the 2nd half and if D Jones has time, he is a very accurate passer. He thinks he IS the QB of the future. He may wear blue tinted glasses mind you...
And apparently DJ for more yards than the most of any Giants QB since 1950?
Ekland and me are on the same sine wave of crazy. However, lets offer Brady T a 10 mill offer sheet for 5 years cash up front. DBMB make it so, with BBQ on the BBQ we can pull this off and if we lose we have Mylnick and another Billonare chasing us down making bad decisions that help our future.
Must be almost time for a new thread. Summer is winding down, I think the autumn equinox is tomorrow. Exhibition game this weekend against the hated wretched leaf, who will once again be pronounced Cup champions in Sept. by the SFU. I think we should all heed the words from Stephane Richer and cut the players some slack when they are not playing well. I am guilty of it myself. I plan to change that this season.
I'm not sure how many Habs games I will get to watch this season. I no longer have tsn or snotnet with my greatly reduced tv package and I don't care. Fuck Bell. I may be able to catch the Saturday night games on CBC Gem. We'll see.
Great news. Hugeson has retired. I can see SN promoting that horribly annoying leaf play by play guy to he national broadcast. The holy mackinaw guy...

Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood

Nice! Another Prine song I never knew about.
DeleteOf course, I had to google the lyrics to the DKs Dear Abby. A rather different treatment.
Toronto believes they won this deal. Will not have to face KK in the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteThis is true. KK was a playoffs scorer, and that is rare. We really don't know if Dvorak will be any good in the NHL playoffs yet.
Delete7evans and Perrault will take care of the weaklings matthews and marner. The leaf will not even make the playoffs.
DeleteThe Forum Gods rejected KK. My best explanation. Bery was right about both GCHuck and Mini Me, and I think history will prove him out this time. But I still think there is a chance he becomes a Lego barzal hyprid.
ReplyDelete“Young centers with a lot of potential don't just come around. You have to draft them” - #Habs GM Marc Bergevin in June 2018 after drafting Jesperi Kotkaniemi 3rd overall
ReplyDeletePlease can he explain that in his presser today!
Buy yourself a EuroMillions lottery ticket. I expect there is a better chance of you winning that than getting a straight answer from MB on this.
DeleteI guess the higher you're drafted as a Hab, the less likely things will work out for you within the organization. I think it's becausr humility is vslued over talent. Goes rihht back to Patrick Roy and Mario Tremblay.
ReplyDeleteCanadiens' management dropped the ball on Kid KoHo from the start. A barely turned 18 year old stringbean should not have started in the NHL. He should have played 2 more years in Finland at least. More time to mature mentally and physically. Watching him play the last couple of years I never got the impression he was going to be a dominant #1 center, but a good #2 like Saku was.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, Suzuki has fallen into bergevin's lap so he can save face. Nick is a true #1 and with CC will put up some good numbers. They need Power Horse on their left wing to give them so space and a little protection.
As for KK, I hope Carolina self destructs down to a bottom 5 finish and with that shitty goaltending tandem it is a good possibility. Fuck Dundun and Waddle.
What I want to know is how many Ken dolls does bergy have dressed like KK with pins in them?
DeleteI expect DEVO to be a big cheap upgrade for a least a couple of years.
If the Pole Dancer can be a scoring third center we are going to be effective down the middle.
If the TSAR finds his top 4 gear, and Northlander can we call him FACE? gives us some Quinn Hughes Cale Makar DNA plan the parade. Failed to mention high hopes for Yodelin.
What Steve said...! Fuck yeah! (...err...maybe...not always sure who he is talking about...) But yeah! Fuck Yeah!
DeleteI really enjoy watching match play golf. For the non-golfers this is a team event where the players face off hole by hole rather than keeping regular golf scores. In this case it is Europe vs USA. But man, I cannot stomach the USA! USA! chants that come along with these events. Rhetorical question but is there a more arrogant nation on the planet? I just watch in hopes they lose.
ReplyDeleteThat was quite a match yesterday between Cantlay and Rahm. I'm happy Patrick won, I don't like Rahm for whatever reason.
DeleteAnd staying off hockey for a bit, it's football week baby! Pats with a rookie QB & excited to see what the kid can do. Sadly don't play the Giants this year so no Jones v Jones matchup. I don't think they play the Steelers either. Finally sat down this morning to see who went where and roughly planned for my draft tomorrow night. Picking 5th so I'll get a top end RB.
ReplyDeleteYour Jones is better than my Jones aka Mr. Clumsy. I am in a FanDuel league this year. You pick 1 QB 2 RB 3 WR 1 TE 1 D and 1 Flex player. You have a 60k cap to buy all those players. It's harder than you think! There is a winner every week and an overall season winner. I'm also in a Survivor pool this year, first time in probably 20 years. $5 to get in and $5 to buy back in.
DeleteI expect my Giants to suck again this year. Maybe they can get a decent QB in the '22 Draft.
Keeping it off topic, happy 19th birthday and congrats to Montreal's Leylah Fernandez and 21 year old FAA on making it to the quarter finals at the Tennis US Open. Good luck to Andreescu today even if her on court antics grate on me at times.
ReplyDeleteDon't follow tennis anymore, good luck to the Canadian players.
DeleteSpeaking of Canadian women doing well in sport, what a year it has been already! Hockey gold, soccer gold at the Olympics...indeed I believe the first 13 medals won by Canada were by women.
ReplyDeleteWhich brings me to this. Since it's been such a great year, maybe it's time to 'promote' Bergevin to President (cuz he ain't going anywhere) and replace him with the league's first female GM. There are some great options out there, perhaps limited however if speaking French is a requirement, which I think we can agree by now is a fact. She's really smart, Wickenheuser could learn the language quick. Bonus is that Dr Mulder is really old and she can do double duty when he retires. There is Meaghan Hunter from the Hunter clan. Doubt she is bilingual but I dont know. Maybe she's not ready to GM a team yet but Swiss Miss Florence Schelling was the first GM of a pro men's hockey team last year for Bern. Being Swiss she might have French and wouldn't be a bad person to get into the system. Moe has names a.few others that would be excellent targets in previous posts.
Though apparently the rumour is that MB is getting a 3 year extension, so...
Bergy's going no where. That trip to the Finals bought him a lot of runway. Pretty soon he'll have Geoff in the gym pumping iron with him.
Deletesorry to be a old fart,but winning at women level does not make you a great hockey player, it makes you a great women hockey player. They introduce Christian St Clair as the best soccer playero of all time, no she is the best women scocerr player of all time. Until I make a mistake I will always believe men and women are equal but differant.
DeleteUgh. Back to the office this week. Getting up AND dressed to go to work sucks. I had a hard time finding pants. Couldn't find my shoes. And need to actually plan lunch rather than just going to my fridge to see what we have. And then there is traffic to deal with.
ReplyDeleteAlso nice to actually see human faces in 3D especially since we have many new ones in our department.
Anyway, Habs have been on my back burner with football starting. But it's actually quite simple what needs to happen this year to make this forgettable summer unforgettable.
1. Canes suck and end up in a lottery position ending with a top 5 pick for the Habs.
2. Habs get to the final again, maybe even win this time and Yotes end up with pick 31 or 32 from the Devo trade.
Simple. Get er done.
I see a juggernaut hitting the icebergs and powering through. I am not sure where the myth and reality of BBQ depart. I see Tsar and North FACE more than making up for his departure. Dano, you got ten points a year, any Cheq can Cheque. We are going to be absolutely awesome, awesome. Put your money down now on misu ju,
ReplyDeleteSyd the kid joins Narco on the wrist list, to heavy oven mitts, I dont know. More likely because they wear the short gloves. Bring back the long gloves, I can not believe it makes a diff as Mike Bossy.
ReplyDeletemoe's Steelers pull another rabbit out of their hat. Must be the M.T. that coaches them...
ReplyDeleteGonna be a long year for Giants fans. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteTime to start looking at 2022 draft picks yet?
DeleteA case of fumbleitis cost the Pats a win. Mac looks like he'll be a definite upgrade over Cam at least.
The Giants have the Bears 1st pick as well as their own. I think there is another hot qb for 2022, they need one. Daniel Jones is effin terrible. Clumsy as fuck.
DeleteRIP Norm McDonald, one of the funniest of his generation. Could play the straight guy like no other.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Fuck cancer!
DeleteOne of the funniest people ever.
DeleteRest in peace Norm.
Go fuck yourself cancer !
Norm MacDonald on battles with cancer: “I’m pretty sure, I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw.”
ReplyDeletePerfect.
DeleteI never heard the Moth Joke until today, it was a good one. He lost the anchor chair over and OJ joke and thats a jOKE.
DeleteI think you'll find he lost the SNL gig for repeatedly referring to OJ as a murderer...but let's not split hares...
DeleteGO GIANTS!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the over/under on how many times Daniel Jones will turn the football over? I predict 2 or over.
Gut wrenching loss with zero on the clock after the offside. I'd prefer a blowout to that.
DeleteWatched the first half. He didn't look so bad though he was sacked three times. We have a new guy just started at work and he's a Giants fan. He informs me the O-line looked much better in the 2nd half and if D Jones has time, he is a very accurate passer. He thinks he IS the QB of the future. He may wear blue tinted glasses mind you...
And apparently DJ for more yards than the most of any Giants QB since 1950?
ran for more yards...
DeleteEkland and me are on the same sine wave of crazy. However, lets offer Brady T a 10 mill offer sheet for 5 years cash up front. DBMB make it so, with BBQ on the BBQ we can pull this off and if we lose we have Mylnick and another Billonare chasing us down making bad decisions that help our future.
ReplyDeleteMust be almost time for a new thread. Summer is winding down, I think the autumn equinox is tomorrow. Exhibition game this weekend against the hated wretched leaf, who will once again be pronounced Cup champions in Sept. by the SFU. I think we should all heed the words from Stephane Richer and cut the players some slack when they are not playing well. I am guilty of it myself. I plan to change that this season.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how many Habs games I will get to watch this season. I no longer have tsn or snotnet with my greatly reduced tv package and I don't care. Fuck Bell. I may be able to catch the Saturday night games on CBC Gem. We'll see.

I've been thinking about a training camp thread. Just been very hectic lately.
DeleteSomething will be up soon!
Great news. Hugeson has retired. I can see SN promoting that horribly annoying leaf play by play guy to he national broadcast. The holy mackinaw guy...
ReplyDeletethe legend of the leaf Stanley cup 2021 soon on HBO, yeah but the lost in the first round, does not matter
DeleteCongrats to JT, okay it was a loser point but still a big win.
